'Beauty And The Beast' Is Back And Better Than Ever

Disney’s live-action feature film of "Beauty and the Beast" earned the title of the most viewed trailer in its first 24 hours after being released last week. On Monday, Nov. 14, the trailer that was distributed across all social media platforms, had jaws dropping everywhere.

The Beauty and the Beast trailer drew in 127.6 million views in just one day. The previous record was set by "Fifty Shades Greyer," the second movie in the "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy, with 114 million views. Before that, Star Wars: The Force Awakens held the title with 112 million views.

If you can recall, there was a teaser trailer that was released back in May. This teaser consisted of the classical music, scenes of the inside and outside of the Beast’s castle, and only a super quick glimpse of Belle leaving viewers hungry for more.

This official trailer, however, is what myself and everyone else in the world was waiting for. We got to finally witness scenes featuring Belle as played by Emma Watson, and costarring Dan Stevens who plays the Beast. We even got a glance of Lumiere, Cogsworth and Mrs. Potts. If you put this trailer frame-by-frame next to the original film that was animated in 1991, they match up perfectly. I don’t know about you, but I felt so nostalgic and sentimental while watching the Beauty and the Beast trailer that I may or may not have teared up a little. Pass the box of tissues, please.

This specific Disney movie holds a very special place in my heart because my eighth grade play was "Beauty and the Beast" and I played one of the three silly girls as well as a dancing napkin. (Cue the song "Be Our Guest.") Watching the trailer is like being thrown back into our childhood and experiencing the magic once more. I think I speak for most of us when I say that March 17, 2017 (the date it’s released in theaters) cannot come soon enough!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
